They don't have some magical biological aspect that governs their behavior. The things that lead someone to believe in a God that doesn't exist, and choose to kill people in the fake God's name are just as natural as empathy.
Did anything I said suggest I thought there was a biological aspect that governs their behavior? Don't think I understand your point.
I guess I don't understand your original point has to do with my original post. I tried to infer some context to make them related.
The key original point is that religion is an example of human behavior in a godless world. So the shit that's done in God's name exists as a byproduct of our godless reality. Religious people are what happens when there is no god, not when there is a God.
Atheists think religious people are historically the worst. So when religious people say "If there's no God, then people would be shit." They are right, and they are also the evidence of their being right.
